Hi everyone I am new to cnc and I'm interested in either building or buy a table. Not sure which but in the process of researching this, any help tips or advice will be welcome!

welcome, there is a mountain of info.... just start using the search button plus looking in the tips and tricks section and the plasma builds section to get an idea on options

the key elements are:
1) what do you want to cut?
2) what thickness?
3) what for, for artwork or general patterns
4) what's your budget
5) what are your capabilities.... can you install and maintain software, can you electrically wire up things
6) can you fabricate and assemble stuff
7) what time do you have available
8) when do you want to be up and running.... is it a hobby or are you going for a money making setup?
9) what power supply do you have available?
10) how large do you want to cut as a single item
11) can you lift a sheet or half a sheet onto a table?

all of these items are inter related and may affect the others...

goodluck
